  • What is the RTI Pyramid? How does it relate to what we are doing in Silsbee ISD?
  • What are the guidelines for Tier 1 and Tier 2 interventions as discussed in the book? How do they relate to what we are doing in SISD? Do you see any changes we need to make?
  • Page 36-37 offers some scientifically validated curricula for RTI. What are they? Do the sites work (are we able to get them through our district)? How can we successfully share these with campuses and SITs?
